Prep the Cake to Become Cake Pops

Once the cake is fully cooled, remove it from the pan and place it on a cutting board. Use a fork to crumble the cake into fine crumbs. There should be no large chunks of cake remaining. Place the crumbs in a bowl and add 1/4 cup of melted vegan butter. Mix until all of the crumbs are moistened and evenly coated. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and start rolling 1-inch balls of dough with your hands.

Freeze the Formed Cake Balls

Once all of your balls are made, place them in the freezer to chill for 20 minutes before you dip them in chocolate or other desired coatings.

You can use store-bought chocolate melts or you can also make your own melting chocolate by mixing one cup of dark or semi-sweet chocolate chips with two tablespoons of coconut oil. Gently dip the cake pops into the melted chocolate and place them on a wire rack to dry. Once they have cooled, you can decorate them with icing, sprinkles, nuts, or other decorations of your choice.
